From 3e6r.net Latest News Headlines KC Article Reports Brock Lesnar "Lays Out" & Injures Chiefs Player During Vikings / Chiefs Practice Here is a portion of the article written by The Kansas City Star:
MANKATO, Minn. — When the Chiefs and Vikings get together in the preseason, rough play and injuries are starting to become a trend — and the Chiefs aren't happy about it. Tight end Billy Baber became the Chiefs' latest casualty Friday when he suffered a probable season-ending knee injury. That's not to mention several hard sacks of Chiefs quarterbacks and various melees that ensued on the first day of the teams' annual scrimmages. Baber, who was tackled after making a catch, was carted off the field because of ligament damage to his left knee. His injury came one year after Minnesota defensive back Rushen Jones tackled Chiefs wide receiver Dameane Douglas, ending his season because of a knee injury. Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil was so upset after that practice that he suggested to a Minnesota official that the Vikings should “shoot (Jones) in the head.”That incident seemed to be long forgotten; the Chiefs and Vikings played subsequent preseason and regular-season games against one another last year without a problem. But Friday's events — which also included reserve quarterback Damon Huard getting laid out by wrestler -turned- footballer Brock Lesnar — appeared to have reopened old wounds. Huard sat out the night practice for what the Chiefs said was a hyperextended arm caused by Lesnar's hit. Chiefs quarterback Trent Green, his own career once interrupted by a serious preseason knee injury, voiced his frustration and questioned how much tackling should be allowed in such practices. Rules can differ about the limits for contact at joint practices. CLICK HERE to read the remainder of the article. © Copyright 2000 by www.3e6r.net |
